Bregman hurt by freak check-swing foul, Cubs weigh rest vs Marlins

Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman sustained a cut under his eye and swelling to his left cheekbone after a freak check-swing foul in Sunday's Reds game. He was taken to a hospital for X-rays and a CT scan; manager Craig Counsell said there’s no concussion yet and a good hospital report will guide whether he can play in the Cubs’ upcoming series with the Marlins or be held out briefly. The Cubs still have a Wild Card path as the race unfolds toward Tuesday’s games.

Marlins storm past Cubs 10-3 as Crow-Armstrong launches 40th homer

The Miami Marlins exploded for a 10-3 win over the Cubs in Miami, with Cubs starter Clay Holmes knocked out after 4.1 innings due to eight earned runs. The Marlins tallied two in the second, one in the fourth, and five in the fifth to seize control. Pete Crow-Armstrong provided the Cubs’ highlight, hitting his 40th home run (the first Cubs player with 40 HR and 30 SB in a season) and driving in a run, while earning Player of the Game honors. Colin Rea pitched to limit further damage but allowed a two-run homer in the seventh, and Daniel Palencia finished the eighth. Chicago couldn’t complete the series sweep and now travels to Milwaukee for a three-game set beginning tomorrow.

Rays land Liam Hicks in multi-prospect swap with Marlins

The Rays will acquire catcher Liam Hicks from the Marlins in a three-prospect deal that includes Brayden Taylor, Adrian Santana and Jacob Kisting, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan and The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. Tampa Bay is expected to demote lefty-hitting catcher Hunter Feduccia and keep Nick Fortes as Hicks’ backup, while the Marlins could recall Agustín Ramírez to DH behind Joe Mack. Hicks, a 27-year-old left-handed hitter, is slashing .283/.364/.434 with 14 homers and 62 RBI in 405 plate appearances this season, providing the Rays with added catching depth.

Rays land Liam Hicks from Marlins in three-prospect swap

The Tampa Bay Rays acquire catcher Liam Hicks from the Miami Marlins for a three-prospect package—Adrian Santana, Brayden Taylor, and Jacob Kisting—boosting the Rays with a bat-first backstop who has 14 homers this season but average defense. In exchange, Miami picks up three upside prospects: Santana, a defensive-minded shortstop with growing power; Taylor, a left-handed-hitting third-base prospect showing improved numbers; and Kisting, a right-handed pitcher with back-end starter upside.

Rays upgrade catcher by adding Liam Hicks from Marlins ahead of deadline

The Rays acquired catcher Liam Hicks from the Marlins for three minor leaguers (Brayden Taylor, Adrian Santana, Jacob Kisting) to upgrade their catching, likely replacing Hunter Feduccia in a Fortes-Hicks platoon. The move comes as Tampa Bay added Freddy Peralta and optioned rookie reliever Alex Cook, while designating Craig Kimbrel for assignment, with reports of ongoing talks for a reliever, a second baseman and/or a bat‑first outfielder before the 6 p.m. deadline. Hicks is hitting .282 with 14 homers and 62 RBIs in 101 games this season.

Rays land Hicks in three-player swap to bolster catching behind the plate

The Miami Marlins traded catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks to the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-player package that also sends Brayden Taylor to Miami, with Adrian Santana and Jacob Kisting rounding out the return. Hicks, 27, has posted a .282/.363/.432 line with 14 homers in 409 plate appearances and is viewed as a potential long-term catching solution for Tampa Bay, a team that has shuffled at the position. The Rays’ catching duties have been filled by Nick Fortes and Hunter Feduccia, with Fortes producing solid numbers and Feduccia offering less offense. The move gives Tampa a potential offensive upgrade behind the plate while Miami retools its depth.

Phillies blown out in Miami as Marlins rally to sweep series

Philadelphia’s offense has cooled since the All-Star break and the bullpen has been taxed, leaving the club to chase a shrinking wild-card cushion. Bryce Harper urged help at the trade deadline as Marlins manager Don Mattingly warned, 'we’ll find out who we are' as both teams confront the stretch run.
